We don't see any of our Post Human Division this issue. This one's all about Jackson King. And his wife Christine also. He's being interviewed for a magazine. So he's thinking back to what got this incarnation of StormWatch going. It was actually the mercenaries that attacked them at their wedding. They were trying to abduct Christine. Well . . . that . . . and when the Authority took over the country. And when they gave it back and said, " . . . we'll still be watching you." It was then, Jackson decided, was the best time to find new funding and get StormWatch off the ground again. The UN turned him down, but he convinced the President and Congress to help him out. Not at the levels they had before . . . but, adequate. And then the Doctor called him up, and with Jackson's help, they brought back Winter, Fuji, Fahrenheit and Hellstrike. Jackson's happy, but he's also suspicious. He's wondering who had the power to hold them, near death, for that long of time. He thinks it may be his father. But . . . I don't know . . . that just seems too obvious of a choice. But, we aren't going to find out anytime soon, I don't think. I think this is a mystery that'll be brewing for a while. I really like this book. I like what Christos Gage is doing with his stories. I missed Doug Mahnke's art this issue. But the fill in was . . . ok. Hopefully he'll be back next issue though. But overall, I'm pretty enthusiastic about this WildStorm relauch.
